FAQs

Q: What happens once I've purchased the subscription via Great Magazines website?

Answer

We will send you an e-mail acknowledging your purchase; and if you have bought a digital or package subscription this will also contain download instructions (see the next question).

Once the order has been processed, an e-mail confirmation will be sent to you as well (usually within 24 hours):

It will confirm the details of your purchase.

It will provide a unique customer number. This number is really important, make a note of it!

For print subscriptions, the first issue you receive will arrive within 21-28 working days. If you have any questions regarding your subscription please email bauer@subscription.co.uk or call 01858 438 884.

For digital & package subscriptions:

You will need to download the app onto your device from either Apple Newsstand or the Apps section within Google Play depending on the device you’ve purchased the subscription for (see the next question for more information). Once the app is downloaded, using your customer number and instructions sent to you in the order acknowledgment e-mail, you will need to ‘create an account’ within the app (see how to do this in following question).

Q: How long does it take for magazines to arrive outside of the United Kingdom?

Answer

Speed of delivery to subscribers outside the UK obviously depends on the quality of service provided by the various organisations along the way. The following airmail delivery times should be calculated from the date the magazine is published and are approximate:

Q: What is a Package Magazine Subscription?

Answer

A Package Magazine Subscription is a subscription that enables you to enjoy having both the digital magazine to download and the print magazine delivered. It's offers you the best of both subscriptions at heavily discounted rate. Each issue of the print magazine will be delivered to your door, and when you want to read on the go you will also be able to access the same issue on your compatible mobile or tablet.

Q: What is a Digital Magazine Subscription?

Answer

It is a digital interpretation of a print publication that can be accessed via tablet or smartphone.

A digital magazine covers all the content of its printed counterpart as well as offers editorial teams the facility to add extra interactivity. By this, we mean video content, animations, picture galleries, extra features and so on.

We currently have almost 50 magazine titles available on tablet and/or smartphone. The amount of interaction in them varies. Some titles have fully interactive versions available on some platforms while others are replicas of the print version, possibly with some extra videos and/or picture galleries added.
